Announcement: Navigating Change and Facing New Horizons
December 2014 turned into a crazy month when I suddenly found myself without an assistant. I had two days to find help before the Centre closed for the holidays. I remember walking into my treatment room and in sheer exasperation looked up to the heavens…
How an Old Dishwasher Became a Sage Teacher
For years I had this reliable, old dishwasher that was a real little work horse. I loved my dishwasher. After years of reliable service old faithful started to develop issues. It was frustrating and annoying when it had the audacity to break down. Fortunately I had a husband who could fix just about anything.
A little spark of joy
This past year has been a challenge for everyone. Coming out of the pandemic meant learning how to be around people again.
Personally, it felt like I was crawling out of a dark cave and finally free to feel the warmth of the sun on my face. I could breathe again. I couldn’t spend enough time outside all summer.
The Day the World Changed

In a waking dream you are aware that you are sleeping but you are also conscious of being in a dreamlike state at the same time. This kind of dreaming is often deeply symbolic and sometimes prophetic.
The Success in Failure
Fear of failure can be emotionally crippling. Uncertainty can feel like a huge mountain to climb. Maybe you are at that point in your life where you have a dream, but you don’t know how to get the ball rolling. You know you want to be in control of your own future and have the opportunity to choose the how, when and where. Sometimes all you can do is just leap.
Small Choices or Big Living
Life is all about choices. Some things you have to figure out for yourself but when you are searching for answers there are courses you can take. Sometimes we get to share our lessons learned to enrich someone else’s journey.
Curious About Taking A Chance On Yourself?

The Blunders and Absurdities of Life
That very first day of college will be forever imprinted in my memory. Time slowed down as I walked into my newly assigned homeroom…
Finding Love In The Middle Of Dark Emptiness
This overwhelming feeling of emotional fatigue has been a hot topic with clients and friends lately. It very adeptly describes this sense that after everything we have all been through in the last nine months there is little to no room left to breathe, no place to turn to.

An old house with new walls that fulfilled a dream
Stories can be metaphors for issues we are having to deal with in life, don’t you find? During this very definitive period of seclusion we are being given a rich opportunity to evaluate our lives.
